My April UFO

This month my UFO was actually started from scratch. I have always tried to keep several baby quilts on hand for surprise gifts, but my cupboard has been bare lately! The April challenge gave me the incentive to make another "quilt as you go" baby quilt, this time for our newest great-nephew. We will be seeing him for the first time in April and now I have his gift ready to share.

His parents LOVE baseball and the St. Louis Cardinals, so this is his carry around blanket for many years to come, I hope.

The only trouble I have now, is my baby quilt cupboard is still bare!

Catching up time

I have been very busy preparing for Easter and its celebration.  Plus I finished another photo quilt, began the hand quilting on my April UFO for the monthly challenge and read three books! We have had 4 great days with our grandchildren who gave me many opportunities for taking photographs!

We went to the farm - finally- where our friends keep their 4-H projects. Emma had a blast there.

 Wayne is thrilled now - he got his firepit set up and functioning. Hotdogs were the entree for supper tonight!

Now we are focusing on our trip to Missouri for the Sprick sibling reunion, a 50th high school reunion, and time with both of our families. It has been a year since I saw my parents so I am really looking forward to visiting in person instead of our weekly phone chats. When we get home, I hope to put in a straw bale garden - hopefully the book will come before we leave for Missouri!
